RT: My oven was failing to ignite and warm up to temp. I did some research online and a failed ignites seemed to be the number one cause. I orders the parts and they arrived the next day. It took me fifteen minutes to complete the repair job and the oven warms up and works like perfect now. Saved my hundred over calling out a service repair men. Only took a few simple tools to replace the igniter.

Michael Hazard: My oven began working sporadically. Some times heating, sometimes not. Was reluctantly getting ready to replace but found YouTube suggesting bad igniter. Igniter direct from Frigidaire ridiculously priced. Bought this, replaced old one and oven working perfectly again.

Michael: The part worked perfectly for the repair. I will update in a few months as to whether it lasts.

DavQuoteDavQuote: Fit perfectly in my BlueStar range. Looked on YouTube for step by step instructions. They recommended this exact part. Electrolux is a large manufacturer so I’m guessing this is a time tested part that will hold up.
Don’t forget to disconnect stove from outlet before installing. Safety first.

RolidnotRolidnot: I have a 20 year old Viking VGIC305 30 inch freestanding stainless steel range. I got good service from the original oven igniters but they are finally dying 20 years later. There are three igniters total in my 30 inch Viking range - 2 for the oven, one for the broiler. Your experience with the number of igniters may vary.

I found dozens of igniters across the online spectrum from the Viking OEM model (~$165 EACH!!) to some suspicious Asian knockoffs for about $12 each. I was not spending almost $500 on three OEM Viking igniters for a 20 year old range. The truth about where the products are sourced is sketchy at best.

This particular igniter on Amazon is listed as being made by Frigidaire and is a good example of the online confusion for country of origin and manufacturer. The ones I received from Amazon are actually made by Robertshaw for Frigidaire and probably a lot of other stove companies. Robertshaw is a 120+ year old American company based in Illinois that makes electrical parts, controls and valves to name a few. See my attached photos for the Robertshaw/Made in USA tag. The Robertshaw model is the one with the shorter ceramic body.

Andrew Wasson: Both ignitors on my GE Profile Gas Range (model: JGS968EK1SS) packed it in. The part number for the replacement is WB13T10045 and is back ordered at my supplier so I went looking for alternates. It looked like the Frigidaire 5303935066 Gas Oven Ignitor was a close match and when the part arrived, on close comparison, it looks like they are identical.

Installation took about an hour to do both but I was slightly delayed because all 4 mounting bolts stripped on the way out. Not a huge surprise due to the age and high temperatures they are subject to. I used some grease on the threads and used pressure from a flat screwdriver to force the threads to catch and come out. It was fine. The grease is the magic.

Once I had them replaced, I ran the stove through a full heat cycle to burn off any manufacturing residue from the parts. They off gas a lot during that cycle but after that they seem fine and don't smell anymore. It's like using your gas fireplace or electrical baseboards after a season of no use. You get that burning smell.

Anyway, these are great and I'll buy them again if I need to. They cost about 1/3 of the price of the GE labeled ones and they were in...

Amazon Customer: This was to replace a defective hot surface igniter for a Blue Star 36” range.

Early symptoms of pending failure included a very long time for stove to heat up (should normally take about 15 minutes to reach 350 C for a stove this size), faint gas smell sometimes, and eventually total fail with no heat at all, even though you may still see the igniter glow orange. If the temperature never reaches a preset limit, the gas valve doesn’t open, indicating that the igniter has now failed.

There is an excellent video online that shows how to replace the igniter on this very particular Blue Star model, which actually shows the replacement part being exactly the same as the one sold here.

I thought that the hardest part was actually to reinstall the oven door...a bit tricky.

The only visual difference between the OEM part and this one is the ceramic portion extending a few inches behind the metal bracket which is not present on this replacement part...not sure why, but it works nonetheless as the bracket, ignitor, wires, all appear to be exact,...same as the required amps, 3.2 to 3.6 amps...and the price of course being much more attractive.

Speaking...
